Misc. Sources
-- Central command of the Armed forces has put both IRGC and the Army on full alert since Saturday, December 12. this level of alert is unprecedented in recent years and is used only if there is danger of an imminent war. The Intelligence Ministry has expressed grave concern over the situation and in contacts with Rafsanjani has asked him to intervene and meet with the Supreme Leader to diffuse the situation. IRGC and the Mesbah clerical gang have manged to convince the SL that after the 16 Azar protests the regime is in danger of collapse, and the only solution is to bring IRGC to the scene and crack down on the opposition. The coup plan against the people was also conveyed to the Army commanders who were asked to put the Army on full alert and lock the Army personnel in barracks to have more control over them and prevent them from joining the people. Upon dissemination of this news among the lower ranks of the Army, the now famous statement of the commanders of the Army warning the IRGC was issued. The essence of the statement was dictated by the Army commanders themselves. Things are very unstable in the Army, and the Army Commanders want the Supreme Leader to know that if IRGC attacks the people, Army will not stay on the sidelines.
The SL has approved arrest of a number of leaders of the Green movement. But IRGC is not satisfied with mere arrests. They want to poison those arrested with cyanide and claim they have committed suicide (as was done in the case of Ayat Lahooti).
This regime has been acting foolishly for several months now and all their actions have backfired. This last of their plans will give opposite results as well. Perhaps as I am writing these words, the agents of Satan have already been mobilized for their vile acts. But for the brain-impaired coup agents, I say that every foolish act will cause you to burn in people's wrath. The people have no fear of sacrificing their lives. They prefer death to a life under your yoke. You have so far only seen their gentle side. The wrath of the people will destroy you.
-- Alireza Nourizadeh:
"Dear iranians! According to confirmed and very reliable news source, this evening, there was a 3 hour meeting in the house of the Leadership of Iran between all coup leaders including Commander Vahid, Commander Jafari, Commander Firoozabadi, Sheikh Hossein Taeb, Asghar Hejazi, Mojtaba Khamenei, Gholamali Haddad Adel, Ahmadi Moghadam, Heidar Moslehi, Commander Mohamad Reza Naghdi and the leadership Seyed Ali Khamenei himself and his chief officer Mohamad ali Golpayegani.
During the meeting the majority of participants requested the arrest of Mirhossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, Seyed Mohamad Khatami and putting Rafsanjani under survellience. Khamenei however postponed his final decision to tomorrow.
Nevertheless according to a very reliable source it is very probable that the coup leaders take series of important measures including arrest of a number of opposition figures tonight.
We are going through very critical moments. We need to neutralize the coup with utmost awareness. I will inform you on any further news from Iran.
